| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, it's cool the club got a request to make a short animation based on robots. The trio's research took their ideas to new heights and I have to say, it's quite an entertaining watch. Looks like the theme deals with robots and monsters which has potential for a lot of ideas. This is one of those episodes where anything could happen. |
 |
| Was wondering when the giant robots were going to show up and here we are. I figured we'd at least see one as a joke or a throwaway idea, but wasn't expecting that they were going to go into this much detail. Ah, the joy and anxiety of every robot anime fan put into a single episode. This was a lot of fun. But other than Robotics;Notes I guess this will be the closest we're gonna get to another anime about a giant robot club. inb4 the drill is a Gurren Lagann reference. It's not. Looks like they're a proper 'anime studio' now, getting paid and all. Kinda hoping this will be their project for the rest of the show. |

| They're working with the robot club... it was great, and it's right, there is less mecha anime now, that's sad. |

 |
| they really went all out huh |
 |
| They aren't annoying, just really energetic which makes them so loveable. |

Why does this anime have to remind me of this cruel reality? This episode hurt me both as a mecha fan and an astronomy student. |
| 5 Episodes in, and I can confidently say we have something special here gang. Every time that insert song plays.. boy does it hit. The sense of wonder and passionate imagination never gets old here, it only gets stronger with each passing episode. and one small prediction: Mark my words, there will be an episode where Kanamori makes us all into a puddle of tears. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES. |
| Kanamori's ability to think on her feet is amazing lol instead of even questioning why the robo club was shit talking them, her first instinct is to take a picture of it for extortion lmaooo, best girl. This show's really a love letter to the craft and grind of animation. We only see the end result of the hard work and years of training that goes into everything, but it's done a great job of showing us and breaking down every detail that's needed to make an anime, I hope this inspires people to explore their own creativity as well, your only limit is your imagination. We really have something special here, something we will certainly recommend to people and talk about for the entire decade. This is already a masterpiece. |
 |
| In before this ends up being the best mecha anime in years...... In all seriousness, this show just keeps getting better. I love seeing all the considerations taken in designing the aspects or the series, I enjoy the back and forth with the robot being modified in real time, and I love that they actually went out to scout real world locations. I've heard that even with animation, it's always better to try to get real world reference because you're trying to mimic real life to some extent, and the animation of these girls definitely seems to believe in that principal like being based on real life physics or having some consideration for why the design is like that. Also, hot take, Kanamori is one of the most original characters in anime that I've seen in a while. Maybe I've been watching the wrong shows (actually I've almost certainly been watching the wrong shows) but I just love her calculating aspect while not coming across as purely self centered or like she's trying to screw people over. Plus how her design reinforces that. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Probably my least favorite episode so far. |
| Kanamori in charge of negociation is always funny to watch haha But this time those who dream took the lead : great cooperation between the 2 clubs actually |
 |
"cranes are mecha in real life" is now my new favorite idea Boston Dynamics and Sony Aibo   In other words, you made Patlabor Kanamori is going to be a top negotiator one day please break my balls Kanamori |

| Great episode as always. I couldn't help but laugh when Asakusa, Mizusaki and the Robo club president bonded over the shortcoming of current technology against the wishful imagination of sci-fi. I feel you guys. XD There really are less mecha anime these days aren't there? That was both funny and hurtful at the same time. Genuinely love the way they make their thoughts come to life with the animation. |
 |
| Probably they will have to use Cgi to animate the robot |
| “Over your fear of the dark now?” .... *scurries her ass back over to Kanamori’s side* LOOOOL I fkn love Asakusa ! |
| On this episode of Eizouken...from the perspectives of the eccentric trio, we explore the depths of Mecha anime and how the industry hasn't been kind to the genre (basically having less). Starting off with the Robot Club showcasing their robot prototype works with the trio, after the amazing feat that was last episode which gave the 3-girl club their first break. As usual, with anime development, locations are the first to scour, and immediately scaredy cat Asakusa gives out on the dark nature against the pragmatic Kanamori and enthusiastic Mizusaki. herrickluk said: That short scene was just funnily magnificent!“Over your fear of the dark now?” .... *scurries her ass back over to Kanamori’s side* LOOOOL I fkn love Asakusa ! The power of imagination still plays a massive part in bringing ideas of fantasy realism, and still is super addicting to watch. However, as T&Cs go, they'd treat it like one regardless of collaborations or what-have-yous if the dreams and ambitions don't align. Screw all that with a censored middle finger from the president himself (probably against people in the industry). Emotions don't just run the show, and in this case, they did, wanting to make their dreams come true. However, what comes out of endless imagination is hard to animate...so what will be the compromise? Exhilarating episode and this series only just keeps getting better and better. |
 |
| pretty fun episode. cool to see that they're already making money from their anime production. the episodes pacing near the start was a bit wack, but it really started to shine when they got into designing the robot. overall, another interesting episode from Eizouken! |
 |
| "There's less mecha anime coming out" Ooow man that hurt really bad Giant robots will never stop being cool though! |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Finally heard the OP that everyone was earlier talking up.... 1st thought "Why does this sound so much like the opening to GANTZ!?" |
| So now they are doing a mecha anime shot for the robot club. That was nice because this has been a fun episode so far. |

And i hope they wrap this project up quickly and move on to something different :P Mecha lost it's charm to me long ago. Although this episode was nice, i prefer some other subject. P.S. Form! Feet! And! Legs! Form! Arms! And! Torso! And I'll form ... The HEAD! |

| The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that focusing on mecha is just a stroke of genius: It allows the show to comment on the current state of anime, puts in it touch with historic anime, and it showcases both Asakusa's desire to geek out on the technical details AND Mizusaki's desire to animate realistic "humanoid" movement. |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
Why no one has posted this yet? :D |
 |
| They will make gundam anime! XD Asakusa's bag is like Doraemon's pocket XD |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
mozgow said: Why no one has posted this yet? :D I laughed my head off during this scene. At least the stuff in the bag was useful but still carrying a collapsible shovel was pretty hard-core. As a mecha fan, this episode touched me on a spiritual level ;-) The whole commentary on real robot/super robot and how we all dream of piloting our own mecha (though not necessarily on the toilet). Best line in the show has to be Mizusaki's " I do a hadoken every night before I sleep" |
Nope, only Labor. The patrolling police Labors are the Patlabors. |
| I really liked the monster design and the underground adventure, as well as the way the robotics club collaborated with the girls designing the robot, buuuut the robot itself... i really didn't like the design. It looks too much like a toy and i'm not a fan of the way they slapped the weaponry on to it. I'd have either gone the Armored core route and mount some of them on the shoulders/back or since they're all basically tools give the robot a swiss knife style arm so they can be swapped around instead of having all of them out at all times cluttering the design. This way it would also make the animation easier, you could have even more weapons hidden which would result in hype moments each time the arm transforms into a new weapon and you know how awesome transforming robots are. |
| I was kinda bored with this episode ngl |
 |
I am referring to the anime because it is about blue collar mecha you will note that is why 'Patlabor' is in italics |
syncrogazer said: Nah, it's just a short project for the upcoming cultural festival.Kinda hoping this will be their project for the rest of the show. |
| Yes, one of my favorite anime genres isn't getting much love lately, and that's really sad. I even feel like learning to draw and making something out. Hopefully this mini arc is inspirational for enthusiasts and creators. The whole deal with fiction vs reality vs practicability of mechas was really good. This show is great at criticizing its own medium. |
glassknuckles said: I am referring to the anime because it is about blue collar mecha you will note that is why 'Patlabor' is in italics I know what do you mean but literally the blue collar mechs there are called Labors. The anime concept in the episode is about blue collar mech fighting a monster is different from the concept of the Patlabor anime...despite the third movie being laterally that...but still the police mechs doing the job. You see, the Patlabor is a mech dedicated for police purposes and the eponymous franchise is about mainly them, not killing alien invaders with a forklift or something. |
| Trying the Hadoken before she sleeps? Bless her... <3 First sequence might be a reference to 20th Century Boys, not sure tho. |

Your need to get pedantic with me over a joke is not very charming. You must be real fun at parties. Patlabor has: blue collar mecha. It has: kaiju, in episode 3 of the OVA, and episode 19 of the TV series, which you must have forgotten. So it has two elements I've just seen in Hands Off. You're saying the civilian mecha don't do anything, and kaiju are not the focus, and I say to you so what? Obviously they are not exactly the same, I'm communicating that this line of dialogue reminded me of Patlabor the anime because of the shared elements. |

What parties? glassknuckles said: It has: kaiju, in episode 3 of the OVA, and episode 19 of the TV series, which you must have forgotten. I just thought that I don't need to list them all. For example the one in the OVA was more of a kauju parody and they don't overcome the monster. The third movie was closer to the current situation because definitely Patlabors are not designed to fight monsters.   glassknuckles said: You're saying the civilian mecha don't do anything They do a lot of stuff...just don't hunt for monsters. glassknuckles said: kaiju are not the focus Sometimes they are. glassknuckles said: I'm communicating that this line of dialogue reminded me of Patlabor the anime because of the shared elements. Yeah, as your way of communication was smokes signals the message was a but smeared by the wind. More like to some classic robot anime...there was something similar in Heroman so I assume they are all (including 20th Century Boys) referencing way older title like Tetsuwan Atom or Tetsujin 28-gou. |
alshuFeb 4, 2020 3:45 PM
QED I've already told you what reminds me of Patlabor, and you ignored it. For reference, it's because Patlabor is the only mecha anime I know of with blue collar mecha. I'm not going to argue the validity of this with you, because I don't give a shit. Obviously, you have made it clear you object to this comparison, so why don't you find someone else's post to nitpick? |

Probably, it was more because of the comment saying ''this isn't giant robot sci-fi but more robot crime''. In 20th Century Boys existence of robots isn't known and there's a plot with a mysterious cult, kidnappers, brainwashers, etc. Whole thing of course can generally just be to all classic robot anime. Not that I've seen any. |

| definitely fun episode I like how kanamori always bribes everybody lmao |
